Muscle hypertrophy
Muscle hypertrophy involves an increase in size of skeletal muscle through an increase in the size of its component cells.
Two factors contribute to hypertrophy: sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, which focuses more on increased muscle glycogen storage and myofibrillar hypertrophy which focuses more on increased myofibril size.[citation needed] However, neither happens in isolation, which is why top-level bodybuilders and strongman competitors have different but comparable muscle size and strength.
Hypertrophy stimulation[edit]
A range of stimuli can increase the volume of muscle cells. Summarizing, these changes occur as an adaptive response that serves to increase the ability to generate force or resist fatigue in anaerobic conditions.
Strength training[edit]

Strength training typically produces a combination of the two different types of hypertrophy: contraction against 80 to 90% of the one-repetition maximum for 2–6 repetitions (reps) causes myofibrillated hypertrophy to dominate (as in powerlifters, Olympic lifters and strength athletes), whereas several repetitions (generally 8–12 for bodybuilding or 12 or more for muscular endurance) against a submaximal load facilitates mainly sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (professional bodybuilders and endurance athletes). The first measurable effect is an increase in the neural drive stimulating muscle contraction. Within just a few days, an untrained individual can achieve measurable strength gains resulting from "learning" to use the muscle. As the muscle continues to receive increased demands, the synthetic machinery is upregulated. Although all the steps are not yet clear, this upregulation appears to begin with the ubiquitous second messenger system (including phospholipases, protein kinase C, tyrosine kinase, and others). These, in turn, activate the family of immediate-early genes, including c-fos, c-jun and myc. These genes appear to dictate the contractile protein gene response.
Progressive overload is considered the most important principle behind hypertrophy, so increasing the weight, repetitions (reps), and sets will all have a positive impact on growth. Some experts create complicated plans that manipulate weight, reps, and sets, increasing one while decreasing the others to keep the schedule varied and less repetitive.
Anaerobic training[edit]
Experts and professionals differ widely on the best approaches to specifically achieve muscle growth (as opposed to focusing on gaining strength, power, or endurance); it was generally considered that consistent anaerobic strength training will produce hypertrophy over the long term, in addition to its effects on muscular strength and endurance. Muscular hypertrophy can be increased through strength training and other short-duration, high-intensity anaerobic exercises. Lower-intensity, longer-duration aerobic exercise generally does not result in very effective tissue hypertrophy; instead, endurance athletes enhance storage of fats and carbohydrates within the muscles,[1] as well as neovascularization.[2][3]
Factors affecting hypertrophy[edit]
Several biological factors such as age and nutrition can affect muscle hypertrophy. During puberty in males, hypertrophy occurs at an increased rate. Natural hypertrophy normally stops at full growth in the late teens. An adequate supply of amino acids is essential to produce muscle hypertrophy. As testosterone is one of the body's major growth hormones, on average, men find hypertrophy much easier to achieve than women. Taking additional testosterone, as in anabolic steroids, will increase results. It is also considered a performance-enhancing drug, the use of which can cause competitors to be suspended or banned from competitions. In addition, testosterone is also a medically regulated substance in most countries, making it illegal to possess without a medical prescription.
Changes in protein synthesis and muscle cell biology associated with stimuli[edit]
Protein synthesis[edit]
Ultimately the message filters down to alter the pattern of protein expression. The additional contractile proteins appear to be incorporated into existing myofibrils (the chains of sarcomeres within a muscle cell). There appears to be some limit to how large a myofibril can become: at some point, they split. These events appear to occur within each muscle fiber. That is, hypertrophy results primarily from the growth of each muscle cell, rather than an increase in the number of cells. Skeletal muscle cells are however unique in the body in that they can contain multiple nuclei, and the number of nuclei can increase.[4]
Cortisol decreases amino acid uptake by muscle tissue, and inhibits protein synthesis.[5] The short-term increase in protein synthesis that occurs subsequent to resistance training returns to normal after approximately 28 hours in adequately fed male youths. [6] Another study determined that muscle protein synthesis was elevated even 72 hours following training.[7]
A small study performed on young and elderly found that ingestion of 340 grams of lean beef (90 g protein) did not increase muscle protein synthesis any more than ingestion of 113 grams of lean beef (30 g protein). In both groups, muscle protein synthesis increased by 50%. The study concluded that more than 30 g protein in a single meal did not further enhance the stimulation of muscle protein synthesis in young and elderly.[8] However, this study didn't check protein synthesis in relation to training; therefore conclusions from this research are controversial.
It is not uncommon for bodybuilders to advise a protein intake as high as 2–4 g per kilogram of bodyweight per day.[9] However, scientific literature has suggested this is higher than necessary, as protein intakes greater than 1.8 g per kilogram of body weight showed to have no greater effect on muscle hypertrophy.[10] A study carried out by American College of Sports Medicine (2002) put the recommended daily protein intake for athletes at 1.2–1.8 g per kilogram of body weight.[11][12][10] Conversely, Di Pasquale (2008), citing recent studies, recommends a minimum protein intake of 2.2 g/kg "for anyone involved in competitive or intense recreational sports who wants to maximize lean body mass but does not wish to gain weight. However athletes involved in strength events (..) may need even more to maximize body composition and athletic performance. In those attempting to minimize body fat and thus maximize body composition, for example in sports with weight classes and in bodybuilding, it's possible that protein may well make up over 50% of their daily caloric intake."[13]
Microtrauma, which is tiny damage to the fibers, may play a significant role in muscle growth. [14] When microtrauma occurs (from weight training or other strenuous activities), the body responds by overcompensating, replacing the damaged tissue and adding more, so that the risk of repeat damage is reduced. Damage to these fibers has been theorized as the possible cause for the symptoms of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and is why progressive overload is essential to continued improvement, as the body adapts and becomes more resistant to stress.
Myofibrillar vs. sarcoplasmic hypertrophy[edit]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (July 2012)
In the bodybuilding and fitness community and even in some academic books skeletal muscle hypertrophy is described as being in one of two types: Sarcoplasmic or myofibrillar. According to this hypothesis, during sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, the volume of sarcoplasmic fluid in the muscle cell increases with no accompanying increase in muscular strength, whereas during myofibrillar hypertrophy, actin and myosin contractile proteins increase in number and add to muscular strength as well as a small increase in the size of the muscle. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy is greater in the muscles of bodybuilders while myofibrillar hypertrophy is more dominant in Olympic weightlifters.[15] These two forms of adaptations rarely occur completely independently of one another; one can experience a large increase in fluid with a slight increase in proteins, a large increase in proteins with a small increase in fluid, or a relatively balanced combination of the two.
In sports[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2011)
Examples of increased muscle hypertrophy are seen in various professional sports, mainly strength related sports such as boxing, bodybuilding, mixed martial arts, rugby, professional wrestling and various forms of gymnastics. These athletes train extensively in strength as well as cardiovascular and muscular endurance training.

Glen Rose advanced to the 3A Region 2 Tournament final Saturday with a 4-3 extra inning win over Cutter-Morning Star.
The Lady Beavers, the tournament No. 3 seed, will face No. 1 seed Rosebud t 5 p.m. Monday at Harding Academy in Searcy.
With a win, Glen Rose will earn a No. 1 seed in the state tournament beginning Friday in Prescott. By winning Friday, the Lady Beavers already earned a spot in the state tournament, and winning Saturday earned them at least a No. 2 spot.
The Sheridan Lady Yellowjackets defeated Texarkana 7-6 Friday night to secure the No. 1 seed in the 6A State Tournament with a 13-1 record in the 6A South.
Texarkana took a 5-0 lead in the top of the third. A fielder's choice and a two-run home run gave them a 2-0 lead. After a couple of hits and a walk, Texarkana hit a line drive to right center to score three more and take the early five-run lead.
"It was just one of those deals where they were hitting the ball," coach Eddie Woodall said. "Our pitching wasn't exactly sharp, but they were knocking the fire out of it."
The Lady Beavers beat 3A Region 2 Tournament host Harding Academy 7-4 Friday to advance to the next round of the tourney.
Glen Rose, a No. 3 seed, now faces No. 1 seed and 3A-5 Conference foe Cutter-Morning Star at 1:45 p.m. today. Harding was the tournament No. 2 seed.
Cutter beat No. 4 seed Bald Knob 15-0 Friday. The Lady Beavers beat Cutter during the regular season, but lost to them in the district tournament.
Head coach Kyle Lem said, "We played pretty hard, pretty sound. We hit the ball better, but we're still not where we need to be."
The Benton Panther soccer team won the 6A South Conference Thursday night, defeating Lake Hamilton in penalty kicks at home. Tied at 2 at the end of regulation, Benton keeper Eric Powers "made a great save" on the last attempt by Lake Hamilton to secure the victory.
"If we had loss, there would have been a four-way tie for first," coach Wes Ables said. "We would have had the four seed [in the state tournament]. So it was pretty important to get the win."
BRYANT — With a win Thursday the Hornets clinched their third 7A Central title in three years, as well as a No. 1 seed in the 7A State Tournament next week in Fort Smith.
Bryant split a doubleheader with Little Rock Catholic Thursday, winning the first game 3-2 with a comeback rally and walk-off hit in the bottom of the last inning.
Tied 2-2 with two outs, senior Lucas Castleberry brought in senior Evan Jobe from second base to win the game.
BENTON — The Benton Lady Panthers defeated Lake Hamilton 3-2 Thursday night thanks in part to a complete game by junior Lauren White.
After cruising in the first two innings, only allowing one walk with two strikeouts, White gave up two runs in the third inning that tied the game at 2-2. With two outs, Lake Hamilton reached on a walk and a single and scored on a two-run double.
BENTON — The Benton Lady Panthers picked up another conference win Wednesday, defeating El Dorado 8-1 at home.
However, coach Eric Ryan said as far as their standing in the conference is concerned, everything is still up in the air.
"We are just trying to get through and get ready for state," Ryan said. "We want to try to play the best ball we can and whatever happens, happens.
"But we just have to keep going, improving and working hard."
Christina Wilson Hudgins, 37, of Benton passed away May 1, 2011, at her home in Benton.
She was born June 18, 1973, in Little Rock to James and Debbie Wilson.

Scholarships For African Americans
by, 02-12-2012 at 07:49 AM (543 Views)
With the growing need for nurses within the US, authorities and private sources have made available a large number of nursing grants including Scholarships For Minorities; that's, Hispanic, African American, Asian American, and Native American students. Particularly focused are minority women students. Grants generally differ from scholarships as a result of the funds are awarded primarily based more on monetary need or underrepresented scholar populations than exceptional educational achievement or check scores. Grant funds typically are used for scholar expenses incurred besides tuition. Scholarships often are earmarked specifically for tuition and are more strongly based mostly on academic excellence and SAT's; however, the excellence is often blurred so the phrases grants and scholarships are often interchangeable.
As a part of a treatment for the increasing want of nursing care within the face of decreasing choice of nursing as an expert profession, Federal grants had been introduced to extend the number of nursing students, especially minority students. The Health Assets and Companies Administration (HRSA) sponsor quite a lot of beneficial grants applicable to nursing students. Specifically, Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students is a federally funded ($52M for 2010) grants/scholarships program to recruit and retain the financially disadvantaged, particularly members of racial and ethnic minorities, as nursing students or students enrolled in a well being science program. These Federal nursing grants for minorities are launched by individual schools and college students should apply by way of their faculties monetary support office.
Similarly, state governments feeling the nursing squeeze and the presence of beneath-served health care areas even have responded to the dearth of funds or incentive for high school graduates even to consider a nursing career. In response to a report on State Legislative Trends issued by the American Nurses Association's (ANA), 38 state governments have established vigorous state-funded grant and loan packages providing support for nursing education and the bulk, if not all of those states, dedicate a significant portion of these funds as nursing grants for minorities. There are also traditionally black state nursing schools with grants available and Native Americans have similar alternatives in tribal schools and universities. UNCF Scholarships
Another supply of nursing grants for minorities is the numerous nationwide professional nursing organizations. The Foundation of the Nationwide Student Nurses Association (FNSNA) is a charitable and academic group that awards grant/scholarships ($2M since 1974) to certified nursing students including the Breakthrough to Nursing Scholarships particularly offering nursing grants for minorities. Specialty American nursing organizations such because the American Association of Essential Care Nurses (AACN) award funds to undergraduate and graduate nurses in their specialty and a quarter of recipients traditionally have been minorities. The National Black Nurses Association (NBNA) provides numerous annual grants/scholarships for students, the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) also supplies Scholarship Awards, and the National American Arab Nurses Association (NAANA) has a Scholarship Fund.

Final unofficial results around 1:14 a.m. Wednesday showed U.S. Rep Gerry Connolly easily outpacing Republican challenger Chris Perkins, with 60.06 percent of the vote to Perkins' 26.22 percent across the 11th District.
Connolly won by at least 15 percentage points in all three of the 11th District jurisdictions, defeating Perkins 58.87 to 37.48 percent in Fairfax County; 55.36 to 40.44 percent in Fairfax City; and 65.91 to 30.11 percent in Prince William County, according to the State Board of Elections.
As of 1:14 a.m. Wednesday, all precincts in the 11th District had reported their results.
Update 10:31 p.m.: In a victory speech for several hundred people gathered in Tysons Corner, Gerry Connolly said voters in Virginia's 11th District "made a clear choice."
"They voted for pragmatism over ideology. They voted for investing in America's future in education, R&D, and in infrastructure, rejecting the mindless cant that government does nothing well and all spending is the same. Our voters understand that investments have returns to them and that even as we get our fiscal house in order, we must prepare for the global competition that is facing us the next generation," Connolly said.
He spent time talking about the tea party's influence in Virginia, saying "not so fast tea party."
He went on to say "the Constitution doesn't say 'don't tread on me.' It says 'we the people.' It's not just about me. It's about all of us together. That's a Democratic value," Connolly said.
He said the country has a lot of work to do, but he looked forward to working with President Barack Obama and Tim Kaine, saying he was confident they would win their respective seats.
Update 10:25 p.m.: U.S. Rep Gerry Connolly (D) kept his 11th District seat on Tuesday night, defeating Republican opponent Chris Perkins and four other candidates to earn his third consecutive term in Congress.
With 80 of 157 precincts reporting, Connolly led Perkins 58.08 percent to 38.23 percent, according to the State Board of Elections.
In a concession speech at the Mason Inn in Fairfax, Perkins said "I have to concede - the numbers are just not there at this time."
"We fought a good fight. You've fought a good fight. This evening is about freedom. We know this about our country. This battle may be over but in the war we will get this country back," said Perkins, a former U.S. Army Colonel.
Perkins said he called Connolly to congratulate him.
Connolly was first elected in 2008. He served for 14 years before that on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, five of them as chairman.
Connolly is expected to arrive at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons shortly.
Update 9:33 p.m.: At the Mason Inn, GOP candidate Chris Perkins says it's been a long day: he started at Aldrin Elementary school for four or five hours at 11 a.m, and then moved to Laurel.
Perkins said Election Day has been "very positive. I knew it [the election] would be tight. The process has been exciting. It's just been a real buzz."
Update 9:25 p.m.: GOP 11th congressional District candidate Chris Perkins is watching election results come in Tuesday night at the Mason Inn in Fairfax.
Supporters are socializing and watching results on large screens, cheering when predictions look like they are in favor of Republican candidates.
Update 9:14 p.m.: With 25 of 157 precincts reporting, Gerry Connolly (D) is leading Chris Perkins (R) 54.56 percent to 42.19 percent.
As of 9:15 p.m., Connolly had 22,015 votes; Perkins had 17,055, according to the State Board of Elections website.
Update: 9:05 p.m.: Fairfax County Democrats are pouring into the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner for the results watch party, sponsored by the Fairfax County Democratic Committee and the 11th Congressional District Democratic Committee.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) is vying for reelection to his seat representing Virginia's 11th Congressional District. Connolly is not expected to arrive at the party until his race is decisively called, said George Burke, a spokesman for the campaign.
"I think Mr. Connolly will have a comfortable margin of victory," Burke said. He does not expect the race to be called until much later Tuesday night. Voters in Dumfries were experiencing extremely long wait times this afternoon - up to four and five hours, Burke said.
Mina Samaan, 25, of Fairfax, who also attended the Democrats' party in Tysons Corner, said he split his ticket between Republicans and Democrats earlier Tuesday. He voted for Romney because he agrees with his economic policies, but voted for Tim Kaine and Gerry Connolly, both Democrats.
"I know Gerry Connolly...He's been a good representative -a very down-to-earth guy," Samaan said. He said he predicts Obama will win the election, but cast his ballot for Romney anyway.
"For me, it was about the economy. I am fiscally conservative myself and I'd like to see that policy implemented at the White House," he said.
Sandy Salamon, 22, works in Rep. Connolly's district office in Annandale. She advocates for residents' issues, she said.
"I think that in the past four years he's done a really good job relaying how much he cares about his constituents," Salamon said.
Dylan Herbert, 15, and his mom Tammi Girgenti, 43, also attended the party and cheered with the rest of the large crowd when a television network called victories for Obama in Maryland and D.C.
"I've been a Democrat all my life," Girgenti said. "I want my son to be involved."
Update 8:25 p.m. In Fairfax County, there are still lines of people waiting to vote. "If you were in line when the polls closed at 7 p.m., you will get to vote," said county spokeswoman Merni Fitzgerald. "At some precincts, including the one here at the government center, there are still sizable lines so some folks won't actually cast their ballots for awhile.
Update 7:40 p.m.: The State Board of Election has halted reporting results until 8 p.m. because "many voters remain in lines in certain areas of the Commonwealth and will be able to cast votes if in line before the close of polls at 7 p.m."
The decision came to "ensure voters are not unduly influenced by preliminary results. Results will commence shortly thereafter," the board said in a statement.
Update 8:40 a.m.: U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-11th) stopped by the Mantua precinct in Fairfax County early Tuesday morning to cast his vote in the 2012 general election.
Original: U.S. Rep Gerry Connolly (D-11th) knows all too well how close a race can be come election night.
In his last run for Virginia's 11th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010, the contest between Connolly and challenger KetihFimian (R) was too close to call on Election Day. Voting machines also failed, delaying the certification of ballots from two precincts in the district. The candidates stood less than a half percent apart, which entitled Fimian to a recount, but the Oakton resident conceded a week later.
This year, Connolly faces a slighly different district as a result of redistricting, picking up Reston, Herndon and parts of Centreville, Tysons, Falls Church and Annandale and losing Mt. Vernon and much of Prince William County.

Network World - It takes something different to stand out in the crowded network-attached storage market. How does free, as in free beer and free speech, sound?
That's the premise behind FreeNAS, the open-source storage software that supports every major file-sharing protocol out there. FreeNAS can look like a Windows server or an iSCSI target, among other server types. It's managed by a Web interface that's more intuitive than some commercial storage appliances we've used. And FreeNAS offers the innovative ZFS file system, with built-in integrity checks, flexible and virtually unlimited scalability, and good performance.
In this Clear Choice test, we evaluated FreeNAS on an iX-2212 server supplied by server vendor iXsystems, a major supporter of the FreeNAS project. While iXsystems sells commercially supported TrueNAS systems built on FreeNAS, the company made clear that the software package is free, and can be installed on any PC hardware, 32- or 64-bit.
Installation is fast and straightforward. Once the system is set up, it's managed by either a well-designed Web interface or the command-line interface (CLI). Even allowing for our strong CLI bias, we could achieve virtually every task from the Web UI as well, right down to setting low-level parameters in the FreeBSD operating system on which FreeNAS is based. (For those new to FreeBSD, the default parameters worked fine in our testing; there's no need to change OS parameters, or know anything about FreeBSD, for that matter.)
FreeNAS supports multiple file-sharing protocols, including CIFS, NFS, and iSCSI, making it suitable as a file-sharing device for Windows, Mac, and Unix/Linux clients. And iSCSI support makes FreeNAS a good choice for shared storage of virtual machines. FreeNAS also can act as an FTP and TFTP server, and it supports rsync for backup to and from the appliance. And it can be configured as a backup server for Windows Shadow Copy and Apple Time Machine.
Thanks to its ZFS support, FreeNAS performs "snapshots" of its file systems for local and remote backups, similar to Windows Restore Points. FreeNAS can send snapshots incrementally, reducing backup sizes. Even if all the redundancy features in a FreeNAS system were to fail, the data would still be recoverable by restoring a backed-up snapshot to a new system.
A FreeNAS appliance can act as an iTunes streaming media server, a universal plug-and-play (uPNP) server, or a web server, all using available plug-ins. The plug-ins use FreeBSD's virtual "jails," which means a problem with one plug-in won't affect anything in the rest of the system.
Introducing ZFS
Perhaps the best single feature in FreeNAS is its optional use of the zettabyte file system (ZFS), first developed by Sun and now actively maintained as a FreeBSD project.
A ZFS system can hold a 16-exabyte file (about 18 million terabytes) or 200 million files. Even in a Big Data world, capacity isn't going to be a problem with ZFS.
[STORAGE RELATED: Watching CES 2013: Storage]
ZFS is a speedy performer, as we'll show with test results, but it's also extremely flexible and easy to manage. It supports up to 18.4 quintillion snapshots for a virtually unlimited amount of rolling backward and forward.

Historical Event Markup and Linking Project (Heml) provides an XML schema for historical events and a Java Web app which transforms conforming documents into hyperlinked timelines, maps and tables. It aims to provide a most information-rich interchange format for historical data, and thus add a historical component to the growing movement for a 'Semantic Web.'
s3d is an XML schema for 3d scenes, objects, and so forth (intended primarily but not exclusively for computer games). The problem is that often as a games developer you need to work with many 3d editing tools and rendering engines, and there should be an easy and portable way to move objects, levels, etc. around. By having a common intermediate file format, you only need to write one exporter per tool and one importer per graphics engine. Also, you can develop generic tools which are not tied to any particular engine.
white_dune is a graphical VRML97/X3DV editor, simple NURBS/Superformula 3D modeller, animation tool, and VRML97/X3DV commandline compiler in development. VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the Web via browser plugins ("HTML for realtime 3D"). X3DV is the direct successor of VRML97. VRML97 and X3DV have support for animation, real-time interaction, and multimedia (images, movies, and sounds). white_dune can read, create, and display VRML97/X3DV files and let the user change the scenegraph/fields. It also has support for stereoscopic view via "quadbuffer"-capable stereo visuals, and support for 3D input devices like a joystick, spaceball, or magnetic tracker.
Jpedal (Java PDF Extraction and Decoding Library) is a pure Java library to extract content from Adobe's PDF file format and to rasterize this content. It has both open source and commercial versions. The open source version supports embedded TrueType fonts, and there is an additional file to add full font support that is available under an AFPL license.
RenderX XEP is a commercial-grade application written in Java for dynamic rendering of XML documents. XEP is a pluggable architectural component that takes two open standard inputs, XML data and XSL FO stylesheet, and produces the industry's defacto standards for high-quality rendered electronic documents, Adobe PDF and PostScript. XEP supports many extensions to the XSL FO specification, including SVG graphics and PDF-to-PDF linking.
Sketsa SVG Editor is a vector drawing application based on SVG. It allows users to create vector graphics that can be scaled and printed at any resolution, without losing detail or clarity. It features various tools for optimizing content creation, and includes a property palette, a DOM editor, a source editor, a resource editor, SVG-specific shape tools, transformation tools, and additional illustration tools. It uses SVG as its native file format.
EZ Reusable Objects (EZRO) is a Web application that can be used by non-technical staff to manage content as "objects." Content objects containing text, video, and audio can be shared, modified, and re-styled to appear via a traditional Web site, an on-line course, an innovative "Coach," or as a community of interest site. It is highly scalable and can be used for public Web sites, secure environments, and private intra/extranets.
The Vexi Platform is used for creating and deploying rich user interfaces for Internet/intranet applications that look and feel like native applications. Vexi uses a combination of a subset of XML and Javascript to provide a simple API for the development of interactive visual components. Vexi provides an intuitive, themable widget set, created using this API. Vexi interfaces then communicate with server applications through XML-RPC or SOAP.

Lit-up Tractors a Tradition on 32nd Ave in Grand ForksGRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Two tractors along 32nd Avenue are lighting up the holidays. The displays have become a tradition for Ag Country Farm Credit Services.
By: David Schwab, WDAZ
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Two tractors along 32nd Avenue are lighting up the holidays.
The displays have become a tradition for Ag Country Farm Credit Services.
Inside the shop at Titan Machinery, Ag County Farm Credit Service Employees are putting up the Christmas lights. It's a much warmer place than when they first started doing this 14 years ago.
"We did it all outside we didn't think the tape was going to stick at all," Jean Johnson said.
Some of the work is still done outside after the equipment is brought to the Ag Country property on 32nd Avenue.
"All the wheels need to be done on the outside so they can drive it over. and the windshield is done on the outside," light project coordinator Seth Twedt said.
Twedt is in charge of the project. Weeks before this decorating day, plans are drawn to make sure the lights fit the tractor.
"The inside lights are all stationary and the outside lights are all turning," Twedt said. "We use aour receipts from the year before to figure out how many lights we used and figure out how many we need."
Each year they light up a different piece of farm machinery. This year it's a Case IH tractor and a smaller John Deere tractor. They were dressed just across town at North Country Equipment.
"15-20 rolls of duck tape and we are probably going to need another ten," Twedt said.
Once they flip the switch, 30,000 lights on 300 strings between the two tractors glow in Christmas green and red.
"They come and do their Christmas picture. We also have young kids that ask their parents to drive by to see when the equipment is going to be lit. It's almost something that we feel that we have to do in the community now," Johnson said.

Burn Center
In March 2013, West Penn Burn Center very proudly achieved adult and pediatric verification status for the sixth time from the American Burn Association (ABA); verification is recognition for excellence in burn care management. The team at the West Penn Burn Center, led by Dr. Ariel Aballay, demonstrates how commitment and determination can fuel the drive to overcome obstacles and achieve a goal. Our goal is to ensure the best possible outcomes, both functionally and cosmetically, for our patients and to do so as quickly as possible without compromising care.
West Penn Burn Center not only deals with the immediate crisis of burn injuries, but also the important psychosocial dynamics of a burn victim's rehabilitation and return to the community. The team recognizes that healing is not only physical, but emotional as well. West Penn Burn Center has developed many contributing arms to make that restoration possible.
In addition to efforts aimed at improving the delivery of care inside the Burn Center, the team recognizes the importance of providing ongoing education for healthcare professionals outside the Burn Center. For patients with burn injuries, the initial care always begins outside a specialized burn center, either at the scene or in an Emergency Department. West Penn Burn Center dedicates resources and outreach efforts toward burn care education for healthcare professionals in the tri-state area.
West Penn Hospital has been lauded as a high-performing medical center across multiple clinical specialties in the latest ranking of the country's best hospitals by U.S. News and World Report.
To refer a patient to West Penn Burn Center 24/7 call 412.578.5273.
In an emergency, call 9-1-1.
West Penn Burn Center is located on the second floor of West Penn Hospital.
4800 Friendship Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15224
The Outpatient Clinic is on the second floor of the North Tower in suite N2307 of West Penn Hospital, near the inpatient Burn Center.
To reach the Outpatient Clinic, follow directions to West Penn Hospital's parking complex on the corner of Liberty and South Millvale Avenues. The Parking Complex is open 24-hours-a-day and is patrolled by the Hospital's Security Department.
From the parking complex, take the enclosed pedestrian walkway, called the skywalk, from the top floor of the parking complex to the second floor of Mellon Pavilion. You may ask for directions or information at the Information Desk at the skywalk, or follow signs and the blue "N" arrows on the carpet to the "North Tower" of West Penn Hospital. The Outpatient Clinic is in suite N2307.

It all went smooth as silk. My wait to get the car back when I was leaving was minimal. the Park Whiz pre-payment sped the payment process right along.
The gentleman that was the attendant, was extremely friendly and kind.
Attendants were courteous but there was a language problem and a bit of confusion about the guaranteed rate and prepayment. It all worked out well in the end.
It was a good experience. The attended on check-in only spoke Spanish; however, it wasn't a problem since I speak Spanish. Other than that, it was a smooth transaction. In and out quick. Easy to find location.
Attendants were friendly and helpful. Easy in and out.
The location was convenient to me. It appears that the receiving staff had some problems in communications. They were nice people otherwise. While checking out I had no problems.

Denver >Food & Dining > Bayou Bob's
1635 Glenarm Pl, Denver, CO | Directions 8020239.744383 -104.989707
Neighborhoods: Northwest Denver, Central Business District (CBD), Central Business District
We found the service to be non-existent for Bayou Bob's. We sat outside for a few minutes, then I went in to find a server. The bartender asked where we were sitting and said she'd be right out. We sat for 30 minutes with no service. Another waiter waited on another group of people outside and never even looked our way. I guess Bayou Bob's economy is doing so well that they didn't need our money.
Great food! – The food here was excellent! Very flavorful and great variety. I ate gator for the first time.
The staff was very friendly also.
However, if you want something fancy, its not. Its more like a dive bar with great food.
The real deal – Okay! I started with the Abita Amber beer. One of my favorites from back home (Baton Rouge) and it was even on special, I think it was $2.50. It is apparently on special everyday. I had Fried Pickles and Hush Puppies. They were also on special. (You gotta check these specials out... Ridiculously awesome!) Both were great.
My husband and I ordered a variety of dishes to share. We got the Smothered Blackened Catfish with a side of cheese grits and the Seafood Pasta. I was full after the appetizers but being the good Cajun I am, I kept eating.
We didn't try dessert, but I will return for more.
Slightly off 16th Street Mall and so Worth It. – Now sometimes you just have to cry about great food because it was that good. Bayou Bob's is that kind of place.
If you like deep south Louisiana cooking with the spicy great flavors, you have to try this place.
I started out with the stuffed mushrooms. Stuffed with Crawfish, Breaded and baked to die for shrooms.
Then followed up with the BBQ Shrimp in their homemade Cajon Butter Sauce spiciness.
I couldn't stop, I moved to the Seafood Au Gratin next at the suggestion of Shelly, (awesome barkeeper btw). It was filled with Crawfish, Shrimp and Scallops then baked with cheddar jack.
Now let's talk about the amazing service. Shelly behind the bar was awesome and fun. The owners daughter, Meagan, greets everyone with her sexy Southern girl accent and makes you feel at home. The owners cook and do the books so it's definitely a family affair.
If your looking for a fun date night, try this place out. I sincerely doubt you'll be disappointed.
It was alright – I was recommended by others to give this place a try, since I like cajun seafood. I dragged my boyfriend with me. I had high hope for this place, I thought it would be a good place for a date. It totally wasn't. The good was alright. My boyfriend love the jambalaya, but i didn't like it that much. I ordered a po boy sandwich, it was alright.
make sure your tip goes to the server! – the place was packed due to a show happening next door and everyone trying to get a bite to eat first. our server was great... the table of twelve rude middle aged racist women were not! we sat and listened to this group of women cut down the food, the waiter, the culture of louisiana, and the entire south, and then complain that the waiter was taking too long after they wanted twelve separate checks... get a clue ladies... you can't get a group of twelve in and out in 45 min when the place is packed and you want separate checks. the kicker was when the manager whom, i over heard, name is meagan, pocketed the servers tips when the women decided to tip her instead of him even though it states on the menu that a gratuity of 15% will be added to your bill for large groups. we were in shock! food was pretty darn good... but make sure you hand your server the tip! who knew that was acceptable behavior on everyone's part. shame on you women! shame on you megan! you're what is wrong with society.
The Bayou in Denver? Who New? – This place has really good food. If the Lousianna natives say its good, then ITS GOOD! My boyfriend has been looking for a good "cajun" place to go and we fell in love when we found this place. I had the Jambolaya and it was really good, very flavorful. My boyfriend had the crayfish - which are on special late in the season so look out for that - and he was happier than a kid at christmas. They served it to him on a cafeteria tray because the crayfish were overflowing his plate! They had a really good flavor and were nice and juicy. Our server was nice and it wasn't crowded at all. Everything on the menu looked so good that we had a hard time deciding what we wanted to eat. I can't wait to go back and try something different. If you're looking for good New Orleans food, this place comes highly recommended.
Mmmmm... fried foods and pecan pie! – This place is great! I was born and raised in southern Louisiana and can vouche for the fact that this food is the real deal. My boyfriend and I moved here from New Orleans after Katrina. Our first Bayou Bob's experience was for the one year anniversary of Katrina hitting NOLA... not exactly a reason to celebrate! But we left in a great mood after drinking Abita beer (the only restaurant I've seen that has it) and stuffing ourselves on seafood platters and the best pecan pie a la mode I have ever had (don't tell my grandmother!) I've since taken my family there when visiting and have added the chicken fried steak and hush puppies as my favorite menu items. The food is great and reminds me of many places in Louisiana, from New Orleans, to Lafayette, and way down to Bayou Lafourche. The people that work there are really nice and for Mardi Gras, they had a pseudo parade in the middle of the restaurant. You can't beat that! Who would have thought I'd have found a place like this in downtown Denver?
slow service – I came here for lunch on a weekday, and I must say, the service is slow. Don't expect to be in and out and back to your desk within an hour. We even got there early, before the lunch crowd came. The crawfish etouffee was okay, but not nearly as good as at Gumbo's or Pappadeaux. They have good choices in sides however, and for a pretty cheap price you can upgrade your side dish to gumbo or jambalya. The jambalaya was very tasty.
Expensive and Bad – My wife and I just moved to the Denver area and we usually eat a lot of crawfish this time of year. Multiple coworkers suggested this restaurant.
You have to order crawfish in set of 2 lbs (no big deal) but this costs $17! We've eaten a lot of crawfish and this is the most we've ever paid anywhere. Seeing our suprise, the waitress immediately went into a diatribe about how they are not making any money selling them at this price - whatever.
The worst part was that the crawfish were awful. They were chewy and gamey - obviously cooked too long. The rub they used was appropriately spicy, but had way too much garlic. Half of our servings were just claws and tail-less bodies.
Needless to say, we will not be going back. It's sad that the only decent option in town for crawfish is Pappadeaux.

UPDATED: What in the world is persimmon pulp? Now I knowPosted Sunday, November 8, 2009, at 7:00 PM
Being a news reporter makes me curious by nature and my curiosity in recent weeks about this stuff called persimmon pulp got the best of me.
I've seen it offered for sale locally, but I really didn't know what persimmon pulp was or what you did with it, until I asked some questions and did some research this week.
According to the Web site www.joepastry.com, a persimmon is a roundish, orangeish, sweetish fruit that varies in size, taste and appearance depending on where you find them.
In America, persimmons as a rule are quite small, rather hard and usually dry (the word "persimmon" is in fact a Cree Indian word for "dry fruit").
What do persimmons taste like?
I'm told they are kind of like an apricot, though they can be a lot sweeter. They're also more gelatinous on the inside.
This week I called Imogene Pruett the director at the Worthington Senior Citizens Center -- one of the local places that annually sells persimmon pulp -- to inquire more about persimmons and their use.
Imogene, who said she wouldn't call herself an expert on persimmons or persimmon pulp, said from the pulp you can make some tasty pudding, cookies, bread and fudge.
The pulp sells for $4 a pint at the Worthington Senior Citizen Center and last year about $700 was raised by its sale during the autumn months.
She acknowledged that the pulp is concentrated and about two cups are used for a batch of pudding and a single cup is used for most of the cake, cookie and fudge recipes.
Straight off the tree, persimmons are very tart, but the pulp is made by simmering the persimmons five to 10 minutes in a heavy covered saucepan over low heat, stirring often, with enough apple juice or other fruit juice to prevent burning or splattering. Cool the mixture, then pass it through a food mill using the coarsest strainer to remove the large seeds. Or you can just pick out the seeds with your fingers.
Expect to get one part pulp from two parts whole persimmon fruit.
Pruett said the persimmon harvest season hits its prime in October and November and it's a traditional table delight for many Indiana holiday meals.
"We don't have as much this year because of the weather, but it's a nice money-making project for us (at the senior citizen's center)," she stated.
To place an order call 875-2525 or 875-2012.
* The Web site www.feelingsjustare.com suggests that persimmons can also forecast the weather.
If you take a persimmon and cut it open you will find that it will contain either a knife, fork or spoon shape in the seed area.
They say if a knife appears it will be a bitey cold winter, a fork is lots of flurries and a spoon, get the shovel out because you are in for a long, hard winter.
* The Web site www.all recipes.com turned up some recipes. Enjoy!
Indiana Persimmon Pudding
2 cups persimmon pulp
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
6 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the persimmon pulp and eggs using a whisk. Stir in sugar. Combine the flour and baking soda; stir into the persimmon alternating with milk until smooth. Pour into a large greased crock or casserole dish. Drop dabs of butter on top.
3. Bake for 2 hours in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes. Pudding will be dark brown when finished. Serve hot or cold.

3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup persimmon pulp
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F . Lightly grease one 9 or 10 inch bundt pan.

3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Serve warm with lemon sauce or vanilla ice cream.
Persimmon Cookies
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups persimmon pulp

2. Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl; set aside. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the persimmon pulp. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until slightly puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Nick..Nick..Nick..I just can't believe you have never had nor heard of persimmon pudding..
are you sure you are not making up this just so all the good cooks will bring you some? lol I have 30 some pints in freezer from last year. Mother Natures cupboard has so much to offer if one just ventures out.
and as James said..there is always room for some good warm persimmon pudding with cool whip.
Also might add..it is best to get them after a good frost..anyone that has ever eaten one that is not ripe yet will never forget..lol
-- Posted by shadows on Sat, Nov 7, 2009, at 12:16 PM
Have you ever popped the ripe persimmon into the freezer, then eaten the frozen fruit? Eat it like an apple. Delicious!
-- Posted by escapee on Sat, Nov 7, 2009, at 4:55 PM
A Hoosier who never heard of persimmon pudding?
Per Simmons, that is a felonious crime and you should be sentenced to three large servings of pudding with huge mounds of whipped cream. Far and away my favorite dessert of all time.
-- Posted by simmons on Sun, Nov 8, 2009, at 2:24 AM
nooooo Simmons..that would not be punishment for him..I think we should take him out back to my persimmon tree, duct tape him to it..then give him a couple bites of the warm delicious pudding..then make him watch or drool rather as we sit and eat the rest.
-- Posted by shadows on Sun, Nov 8, 2009, at 6:34 AM
A terrific, timely post! Thank you for adding to the season's exploration of this remarkable berry.
Steve and Jason

I cut open a half dozen or more seeds this year, and they have all been spoons.
Who knows??
By the time winter is over I always forget what the seeds looked like the past fall. I guess I should write it down somewhere.
I think "shadows" may be on to something. He may be just looking for some persimmon goodies. :-)
Never heard of any of the juice stuff though. Pulp them, freeze em, and make goodies!!! Yum!!
-- Posted by FTM on Mon, Nov 9, 2009, at 2:01 AM
I like the pudding, but persimmon cookies are my favorite.

i too was surprised and annoyed with priscilla in the programme. it was ridiculous how she didn't mention the trainer. it seemed to me that she wanted sympathy, as it was her programme and her view, and so she shifted the blame. she seemed to be a very clever woman in the programme and at times i thought she behaved very reasonably but the amount of time she spent dwelling on elvis' infidelity, not at all mentioning her little fling, drove me mad. im glad you mentioned it...
what also annoys me about cilla, now you've got me started, is how she still calls herself "priscilla presley", despite having got a divorce from elvis and having a new beau. anyway, that's a different matter.
i have nothing actually against priscilla- i find her very interesting to listen to and i love the way she defends elvis' name the majority of the time.
anyway, i thought 'elvis by the presleys' was a really interesting programme.. lisa talking about her father moved me to tears.

Salivary gland tumors are abnormal cells growing in the ducts that drain the salivary glands.
Tumor - salivary duct
The salivary glands are located around the mouth. They produce saliva, which moistens food to help with chewing and swallowing.
Saliva contains enzymes that begin the digestion process, and help cleanse the mouth by washing away bacteria and food particles. By keeping the mouth moist, saliva helps to keep dentures, retainers, or other orthodontic appliances in place.
There are three pairs of major salivary glands. The largest are the parotid glands, located in each cheek over the jaw in front of the ears. Two submandibular glands are at the back of the mouth on both sides of the jaw. Two sublingual glands are under the floor of the mouth. There are also thousands of minor salivary glands around the rest of the mouth.
All of the salivary glands empty saliva into the mouth through ducts that open at various locations in the mouth.
Salivary gland tumors are rare, especially in children. Swelling of the salivary glands is most commonly due to:
The most common type of salivary gland tumor is a slow-growing noncancerous (benign) tumor of the parotid gland that gradually increases the size of the gland. However, some of these tumors can be cancerous (malignant).
Malignant salivary gland tumors are usually carcinomas
An examination by a health care provider or dentist shows a larger than normal salivary gland, usually one of the parotid glands.
Tests may include:
The recommended treatment is usually surgery to remove the affected salivary gland. If the tumor is benign, no other treatment is usually needed.
Radiation therapy
or extensive surgery may be needed if the tumor is cancerous. Chemotherapy is sometimes used in patients who are considered high risk, or when the disease has spread beyond the salivary glands.
Most salivary gland tumors are noncancerous and slow growing. Removing the tumor with surgery usually cures the condition. In rare cases, the tumor is cancerous and further treatment is needed.
